Trump Arch Plans Submitted Without Military Complex Mention

Final plans for President Donald Trump’s proposed 250-foot triumphal arch do not mention the drones, snipers or ammunition he previously said would be included in a military complex. The submitted documents instead describe a ceremonial and visitor-focused structure, with an eternal flame among the proposed changes. The White House says the plans have not changed and that national-security details are not being made public; the Interior Department says the design could still accommodate such functions. The proposal has drawn criticism over potential effects on Arlington National Cemetery, nearby landmarks and aviation safety, and the National Capital Planning Commission is scheduled to review it on November 5.
